Social Care Jobs
Care workers help vulnerable people to manage their daily activities and to live as independently as possible.
I never intended to have a career in care, and my progression was mainly due to looking for the next challenge, but it turned out to be the best move I've ever made.
Penny, Care Home Manager
Social Work Jobs
Social workers help to protect vulnerable children and adults from harm or abuse, and support people to live independently.
For someone who left school with minimal qualifications and believing I'd never have the opportunity to complete a degree, i'm extremely grateful for the opportunities the authority has given me.
